Felice Beato

National Gallery of Art

The image shows earth embankments and a water-filled trench from a low angle. A structure with battlements runs along the horizon, interrupted by a gate and a distant building. Two figures sit on either side of the trench. The image has a sepia tone with shades of beige and brown dominating the color palette.
